Claim 1: “Russia led its most intensive aerial attack over two consecutive days, with nearly 1,600 #drones launched against #Ukraine”

Multiple independent web search results confirm a massive drone offensive. One source explicitly states Russia unleashed '1,500 attack drones on Ukraine' over a two-day period, describing it as the largest aerial attack since the war began. Another source mentions nearly 1,000 drones in 24 hours, supporting the scale of the attack described in the claim.

Claim 3: “A UN convoy was on its way to distribute humanitarian aid to #Kherson when it was struck by drones twice”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the provided Wikipedia entries confirm the geography and conflict in Kherson, they do not mention this specific drone attack on a UN convoy. The only mention of a Russian drone attack on a UN food program convoy appears in a single web search result from liveuamap.com. Since only one source reports this specific event, it cannot be corroborated.
